Profit-booking was seen in CNXIT (-7100 shares) and in IT stocks like Infosys (-5%) and TCS (-7%). LIC Housing Finance (-2.18 lakh shares), ONGC (2.90 lakh shares) and Reliance Energy (-3.94 lakh shares), too, witnessed profit-booking as OI have declined.
The cost of carry (CoC) has also turned negative in TCS, and one must avoid going long at current levels.
